Guidelines: CONFIG Commands
The following table provides guidelines for entering and formatting CONFIG commands.
If a command is ambiguous or miskeyed, the CLI prompts you to enter additional information. For example,
you must specify which virtual circuit you are configuring when you are setting up an NVG599 device.
Displaying Current Gateway Settings
You can use the view command to display the current CONFIG settings for your NVG599. If you enter the view
command at the top level of the CONFIG hierarchy, the CLI displays the settings for all enabled functions. If you
enter the view command at an intermediate node, you see settings for that node and its subnodes.
Step Mode: A CLI Configuration Technique
The NVG599 command line interface includes a step mode to automate the process of entering configuration
settings. When you use the CONFIG step mode, the command line interface prompts you for all required and
optional information. You can then enter the configuration values appropriate for your site without having to
enter complete CLI commands.
When you are in step mode, the command line interface prompts you to enter required and optional settings.
If a setting has a default value or a current setting, the command line interface displays the default value for
the command in parentheses. If a command has a limited number of acceptable values, those values are
presented in brackets, with each value separated by a vertical line.
